A Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) is a system that informs the pilot about incoming radar radiation, allowing for proper action if needed. In-game, the RWR varies a lot between models, but most of them are a clock display which shows the type of threat (search radar or tracking radar), the source, and the direction.

== Understanding the RWR ==
<blockquote>{{Notice|Note: Radar Warning Receivers are only capable of detecting certain bands. Radars that operate at frequencies outside of those bands will not be detected.}}</blockquote>

The RWR warns the pilot about any outside radar that may be detecting, tracking, or launching a radar-guided missile at the user's aircraft, as long as the threat isn't in the RWR's blindspots (often directly above or below).

If a radar is sending a single "ping" at you (a search radar is detecting you), the RWR will sound a short warning and show the direction it is coming from. RWR can show multiple pings at once from different directions and sources. If you hear a constant alarm and see a dashed line coming from the ping towards the center of the RWR, a tracking radar has locked you and is constantly tracking your position (which usually precedes a missile launch). Finally, a faster alarm along with blinking warnings in the RWR indicate a missile launch, which requires immediate action.
[[File:RWR dead angles.jpg|thumb|Most RWR have dead angles from which they can't see the enemy radar, particularly from directly above or below.]]

Some RWRs are incapable of distinguishing between search radars and tracking radars. If your RWR is one of them, instead of a constant alarm you may only be able to distinguish between the two by how frequently the ping updates (A constant tone that doesn't go away may indicate a tracking radar).

There may be lamps which indicate the type of radar that's detecting or tracking the aircraft, for example PD (Pulse-Doppler), A/D (Air Defence), AAA/AI (Anti-Aircraft Artillery/Airborne Radar) and much more, although the most dangerous of them all is CW which is the guidance method for most SARH missiles.

There are many types of RWR which vary a lot in function:

==== Standard RWR ====
This type of RWR is the one that's commonly found on most aircraft that carry one. They display the exact direction and the type of threat that's detecting the aircraft.

Many of them are capable of detecting tracking radars, and some can even detect if the threat has launched a radar-guided missile, allowing for immediate evasive action. More advanced RWRs may be able to identify the vehicle that's triggering the RWR as long as they're inside the RWR's database.

==== Sectored RWR (SPO-10, SPO-15 and others) ====
[[File:SPO-10.jpg|thumb|SPO-10 RWR.]]
[[File:Rwr4.jpg|thumb|A Soviet SPO-15 RWR.]]
This type of RWR doesn't display the exact direction of the detected threat, and instead only shows it in sectors. One of the most common RWRs that use sectors for displaying threats are the ones used by the later [[MiG-21 (Family)|MiG-21]] variants and early [[MiG-23 (Family)|MiG-23]] variants, which only show 4 sectors. Each sector shows an approximation of the direction of the target, although it has its limitations. In order to show that a target is directly ahead, the RWR has to light up 2 sectors that look forwards, and if a target is directly behind, it has to light up 2 sectors that look backwards. This could be easily confused for two different threats that are triggering the RWR system.

==== Semi-Directional RWR (SPO-2) ====
Unique to the Su-7B family of jets and the MiG-19 family, this RWR only warns about radiation that's coming from behind as it only has a single antenna. Historically, this RWR was designed to warn the pilot about an enemy that was using the rangefinder radar behind the aircraft, but in-game it gives proper warnings up to 40 km away as long as the radiation is an I Band type coming from the rear. Note that this RWR lacks tracking capability.

==== RWR with no tracking capability (AN/ALR-45, AN/APR-25, f95, SPO-2, APP-73 and others) ====
These RWRs function like normal with a key difference: If a radar locks the aircraft, there won't be a special text and audio warning, forcing the user to be more attentive to the RWR display and sounds.

However, these RWRs can still show the difference between a search and a tracking radar, as once the plane is being tracked, the search ping extends into a constant tone that won't go away, along with the ping icon refusing to fade away.

Note that even if the RWR lacks tracking capability, it may still be able to give proper missile launch warnings if the RWR has that capability.

== Description ==

Throughout the many P-38 Lightning variants, one thing rarely changed, the engine nacelles. With the P-38J, also known as Model 422, the engine nacelles and cooling system was revised. Much of the cooling system was improved, such as a different intercooler and other airframe changes that greatly improved the ability to control the turbochargers. Although the P-38J had the same engine (V-1719-89/91) as the earlier P-38H, the better cooling allowed the P-38J to run at a higher power setting at high altitudes. The power increased by about 13%. The specific J-15 block had a better electrical system but was virtually the same as the earlier P-38J blocks.

Introduced in [[Update 1.53 "Firestorm"]], the '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a decent twin-engine fighter. The P-38J with its relatively good climb rate and air spawn, can easily climb above many fighters at its battle rating. Players should climb at about 275 km/h (173 mph) IAS for the best climb performance. The P-38J also has the same armament as many of the other Lightnings with four 12.7 mm machine guns and one 20 mm cannon all mounted in the nose. Although the P-38J has a structural limit of 790 km/h (493 mph), players should be cautious of going too fast as the high-speed compression issue wasn't solved at the time. This can make it hard to get guns on target or worse, slam into the ground. In addition, the P-38J can take bombs and rockets, but players should stick to attacking enemy aircraft. Overall, the P-38J is quite a good aircraft with some quirks.

* 6 x M8 rockets

== Usage in battles ==

When playing the P-38J, climb to a high altitude, search for the enemy, and then pick an enemy you feel confident in engaging.

Once these steps have been ticked off, assuming you are above the enemy target, put the Lightning into a gradual descent. This allows you to maintain a speed advantage. As you are descending, make small course corrections, so you don't give the element of surprise away by shooting too soon, overshooting, or being within view.
When you are about 1-2 seconds away from your target, line your sights up and fire a short burst with your cannon and machine guns. Your target should now be heavily damaged or shot down. If you fail to damage your target, climb back up above using your energy advantage and repeat or move on.

'''Ground Battles''' 
Using the Lightning in ground forces (RB) is very effective once you have unlocked the appropriate modules. '''FMBC Mk.1''' allows you to equip 2 x 500 lb bombs, which are mounted under your wings. To help get the bombs on target, put the plane into a steep dive. As you near the ground, drop the bombs then pull up. Make sure you either pull up with altitude to spare or have a timed fuse to avoid crashing or blowing yourself up. The M10 Bazooka module allows you to equip your P-38J with 2 triple Bazooka launchers. These are attached to the lower nose panel and are very accurate. These are ideal for destroying tanks and bunkers.

Once the enemy ground units have been destroyed or you run out of external ordnance, you can use the Lightning to help maintain air superiority. This will help you secure that much-wanted victory.

== History ==

===Development===
The concept of the plane was made in February 1937 when the US Army Air Corps made a requirement for a plane that had twin-engine and could act as a high-altitude interceptor that could hold a large amount of armament and ammunition. The term "interceptor" was used for the aircraft by the requirement authors, 1st Lt Benjamin S. Kelsey and Gordon P. Saville, to bypass the Air Corps' strict requirements on aircraft designs at the time. The specifications laid by these new requirements also called for a maximum speed of 360 mph (580 km/h) and able to climb to 20,000 ft altitude in six minutes, making it the toughest specifications at the time. Design proposals were made for the specifications, one of which would become the [[P-39N-0|Bell P-39 Airacobra]], but it was the Lockheed design team headed by Hall Hibbard and Clarence "Kelly" Johnson that made the final product. They made many designs with a twin-engine configuration. The prototypes made for the design used a twin-boom design to hold all the components of the aircraft. Various armaments were tested on the aircraft, from different machine gun combinations and autocannons. It was finally settled to four x M2 .50 cal machine guns and one Hispano 20 mm autocannon. The aircraft armament configurations, all at the nose of the aircraft, was very unusual for American aircraft design, as most of their designs and those of their foreign contemporaries had the armament mounted on the wings angled forward. Because of this mounting, the aircraft can fire at a longer distance accurately than wing-mounts.

===P-38J===
The '''P-38J''' model of the series was introduced into service in August 1943. Its distinctive form is the movement of the turbo-supercharger intercooler system from the leading edges of the wings to in between the oil coolers of the engine to protect them from combat damage. Thus, the J models of P-38s have a distinctive "chin" in the engine design. The empty spaces on the wing now made room for fuel tanks for an additional 55 gallons of fuel when installed. Other improvements in the P-38J were hydraulically boosted ailerons and flat bullet-proof windscreens. 2970 P-38Js were built during its production period.

===Combat usage===
The P-38 performed very well in the Pacific and European theatres during World War II. They were used in roles such as bomber and transport escorts, performing reconnaissance, Combat Air Patrols, ground attack, Search and Rescue and other important and critical roles.

===Survivors===
Unfortunately, it is estimated that only five P-38Js survive to this day. Only two of them are still airworthy.

== Description ==

Shortly after the Vietnam War, both the United States and the Soviet Union got to work on a new generation of fighter aircraft that favoured manoeuvrability and dogfight performance over top speed, after seeing how badly "missile truck" designs like the [[F-4 Phantom II (Family)|F-4 Phantom II]] performed against more nimble aircraft that were as much as 20 years older. In 1969, the Soviet Union received details through spies on the USAF's F-X program and the aircraft it was leading to, the [[F-15A|F-15 Eagle]]. As a result, the Soviets also decided to adopt a "Heavy support" doctrine with their new generation of fighters, with a smaller amount of a larger, more powerful aircraft supporting a larger amount of smaller, cheaper "frontline" aircraft just as the US was going to do with the F-15 and [[F-16 (Family)|F-16]] respectively. The design of the heavy fighter was handed to OKB Sukhoi, which quickly produced the T-10 prototype. The T-10 had many shortcomings, and after a lot of work with {{Annotation|TsAGI|Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute of Moscow}} to iron out the issues, the Su-27 would take to the skies for the first time in 1977. Development would continue further, and the first true "production models" would only enter service in 1985, beginning a fruitful life in Soviet service, and later in Chinese, Ethiopian, Vietnamese, Eritrean, Indonesian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Uzbek, and Russian service with many aircraft of the type still seeing combat today.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (NATO reporting name: ''Flanker'') was introduced in [[Update "Air Superiority"]] as the top-end heavy fighter for the USSR tree, capping off the Sukhoi line and beginning its transition from high speed fighter-bombers to the venerable Flanker family. The Su-27 is a jack of all trades yet a master of almost none, and that playstyle is its strongest suite. The Flanker carries a very generous amount of air to air missiles (ten), including up to six heat-seeking missiles with HMD targeting, and four of the infamous R-27ER coupled with the strong N001 Mech radar. The Flanker's lethal missile selection allows it to dispatch distracted many enemies at safe distances, and when push comes to shove, the Flanker's inherently unstable airframe and fly-by-wire control systems allows it to perform high angle-of-attack manoeuvres and partial post-stall manoeuvres at lower speeds, including the famed Cobra manoeuvres. All in all, the Su-27 should be played as a jack of all trades, and fits best into a very aggressive playable due to its lethal missiles, great avionics and sensors, and nimble flight performance. One must, however, be aware of various enemies you can encounter in the Flanker, such as all the aircraft that carry IRCCM missiles due to the Flanker's large heat signature as a result of the two massive AL-31 engines, but also be careful of dogfighting aircraft from the F-15 Eagle family, as the Eagle's superior TWR and high-speed handling as a result of the stable airframe will give F-15 players an advantage in some scenarios.

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

As a heavy fighter, its performance is surprisingly great, giving enemies such as the similar [[F-15A|F-15]], or even the highly maneuverable [[F-16C|F-16]] a good challenge when fighting this aircraft. However, what sets it apart from the most is its extremely high AOA tolerance, remaining somewhat controllable even when the air is hitting the plane from the belly (90°+ AOA maneuvers). This gives it a good initial dogfighting capability, proven deadly with the HMD and R-73 by firing missiles at angle of nearly 140° away from the direction of flight.

However, that amazing dogfighting capability and superb maneuvering is gone as soon as you bring a full load of fuel. It will still be able to give a challenge to any opponent in the right conditions, but the maneuverability can only work for so long until the Su-27 starts stalling for real at low speeds.

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}

What it has in good performance, it lacks in armor. After all, this is no ground attacker, and armor won't make any difference when a missile successfully hits your aircraft.

However, the Flanker actually has good survivability, and that's mostly because of the redundancy given by the two-engine setup, and the huge space between critical components (after all, the Flanker is nearly as long as the [[Lancaster (Family)|Lancaster]]), giving the pilot some good chances of getting back home.

* 96 x large calibre countermeasures

The Su-27 uses the same 30 mm autocannon as the MiG-29 with the same limited ammunition count of 150 rounds. Although it is not as forgiving as the American M61 Vulcan and demands precision, it has no spool up time and will deal heavy damage to any aircraft it hits. Something to note is that the Su-27's cannon is mounted on the right side of the fuselage, whereas the MiG-29's mount is on the left.

The Su-27 has a fairly wide arsenal. The air-to-air armaments are generally similar to the [[MiG-29SMT]], with highly agile R-73 IR missiles for short-range combat and various marks of R-27 missiles for medium to long range engagements. However it has a large advantage in capacity over the MiG-29; a full air superiority loadout consists of four R-73s and up to six R-27s, which makes it an excellent missile truck for BVR jousting.

The extended-range R-27ER and R-27ET are the most capable members of the R-27 family and should be used once unlocked. The R-27ET (and its less advanced R-27T) can only be mounted on the inboard wing pylons for a maximum capacity of two, but this is sufficient for a couple of long-range sneak attacks to round out the Su-27's engagement capabilities. The inboard pylons can also mount R-73s instead for pilots who want to bring as many dogfight missiles as possible.

The Su-27 is limited to only unguided bombs and rockets for ground attack, so unlike the MiG-29SMT it cannot use TV-guided missile or bombs for standoff engagements. One notable feature is that it can carry up to four S-25O heavy bunker-buster rockets made famous by the [[Su-25]], which can be a fun surprise for combined battles when enemy SAMs are suppressed or confused. All rockets are mounted in double racks on the inboard pylons, leaving the other pylons available for R-73s, R-27s, or bombs in a multirole loadout.

== Usage in battles ==


The Su-27 is a fairly all-rounded aircraft, capable of of performing both air superiority and close air support duties, with the aircraft excelling at the former due to its ability to carry a massive arsenal of close to medium range air-to-air missiles like the potent and reliable R-73 and the manoeuvrable and high speed R-27ER, whilst for more personal and intimate encounters the Su-27 sports a potent wing root 30 mm GSh-30-1 with EEGS integrated. The aircraft also has HMD (Helmet Mounted Display) integrated, allowing the pilot to designate radar lock-on selected target within the HMD's cubical arc which possesses a massive gimbal room. One thing to note is that IR Missile lock is integrated into the HMD, allowing the HMD to lock your R-73s onto your enemies without the need to point your nose to lock, this gave the Su-27 a massive advantage in dogfights especially against opponents that lacked the same technology.

For ground support duties, the aircraft offers a decently diverse payload options, ranging from conventional and retarded bombs to unguided missiles which featured CCIP support. One glaring issue however is the lack of computer guided munition due to the aircraft inherent nature of being an air-superiority fighter.

In Air Realistic Battles, the Su-27 is a smooth operator, with excellent roll rate and turn speed. At the start of the battle, it's recommended for the player to load the aircraft with 4 x R-73s and 6 x R-27ERs. After taking off, push for afterburner until you reached ~1,200 km/h IAS and maintain it until contact is made. It's highly advised to stay on deck and follow the terrain to induce radar cluttering whilst en route to the combat zone, this will come in extremely handy when the opposition is field F-14A/Bs which could pop off AIM-54A/Cs Active Radar Homing (ARH) missiles which could independently track target without the need for the Tomcat's radar constantly feeding information back.

After making visual contact with the enemy at any altitude beyond the range of 5 km+, you could attempt to acquire lock using your Radar or HMD mode and pop off a few of your R-27ER to shed some weight, note that the R-27ERs possessed IOG and DL features, the former allowed the missile to continue tracking with the last given parameters whilst the latter enables the missile to reacquire its target after lock is regained, this allowed for some tricky plays like popping off the missile at the enemy, this will encourage them to deploy Countermeasures (CMs) expecting lock to be lost or disrupted, however with the addition of DL, lock could be reacquired and the missile will resume its tracking unlike its contemporary like the AIM-7M. This potentially allow the player to catch the prey off guard thinking that they've already gotten off the R-27ER's hook. At near tree top level, it's highly advised that the player use R-73s instead despite the Su-27's ability to reliably lock targets even at low altitude, it is in no way reliable enough to guide the R-27ERs lest you're flying at an even lower altitude than your enemy. If the fight devolves into an dogfights, the Su-27 have some tricks up its sleeves, that being the Su-27's ability to pull extremely high AOA for a very short amount of time when in the correct speed range (500-700 IAS), this ability should be used with the HMD and R-73 missiles, however you will find yourself out of energy and mostly defenseless if the R-73 failed to hit its target, at very low speeds (~400 km/h) the Su-27 will lose the rate fight against most of its enemies (This includes F-16s, F15s, Jas-39s, Mirage 4000 and more) Due to these reasons above it is best to keep the airspeed above 500 km/h IAS and only pull the maximum amount of AOA to launch a R-73 or to pull in for a gun kill. (another thing to note is that at speeds above 1,200 km/h IAS, the vertical control surfaces will stiffen up). However if you find yourself at speeds higher than 700 km/h IAS, then the Su-27 has yet another toy that is yet to be unveiled, which is the addition of a massive airbrake, specifically designed to enable the aircraft to perform a tight turn even at high speed, regardless the use of this airbrake should be done in moderation as it bleeds the aircraft speed at an astronomical rate which could be a double-edged sword or a lifesaver depending on the scenario it's used in, This allows the Su-27 to turn the table of the fight ever so slightly in its favour if used correctly, allowing the aircraft to enter its manoeuvrable speed threshold which could help you get your HMD acquisition of the R-73 on the assailant or just pepper them with your potent 30 mm with the help of EEGS (Note: the R-73's IRCCM uses Gatewidth Tracking which is extremely flare resistant the closer the missile gets to its target due to the IR tracking scope narrowing post-launch, this means it's highly recommended for the pilot to launch the missile preferably from or below 1 km for best effect).

'''Notable Opponents:'''

* [[F-16 (Family)|F-16A/Cs]] - F-16s carry an advantage over the Flanker in manoeuvrability, with greater energy retention and rate fighting abilities. What makes the Fighting Falcon dangerous, however, is the AIM-9M. The 9M carries an IRCCM (Infrared Counter-Countermeasure) system. The seeker of the Sidewinder will shut off when it detects flares, follow the aircraft's expected trajectory (IOG), and then reacquire lock once flares are passed. The only way to defeat these potent missiles is to constantly flare, cut throttle, and change direction. When the aircraft is not where the missile expects it to be after the pilot moves out of the expected path, the 9M will lock onto the recently deployed flares. Spamming large groups of flares sporadically does not work, as the missile will simply reacquire lock once flaring ceases. The best defense against powerful IRCCM missiles is to avoid them in the first place. By catching enemies off guard from their flanks and behinds, any pilot will find success, no matter the plane.
* [[F-14 (Family)|F-14A/Bs]] - F-14s are capable of launching AIM-54A/Cs as aforementioned, which could be extremely infuriating to deal with. The only real counter to this is by flying flat on deck, however even the slightest mistake could resulted in you getting locked on by the AIM-54s if you don't fly close enough to the ground. Luckily, the Tomcat's combat prowess starts to diminish at closer ranges.
* [[F-15 (Family)|F-15A/Js]] - F-15s are perhaps one of the Su-27s greatest adversary. Better manoeuvrability, the F-15s could pull off many tight turns just like the the Su-27. Combined with its use of AIM-9Ms, the Eagle could easily pick off the Flanker in close range engagements so caution is advised when engaging.
* [[JAS39A]]/[[JAS39C|Cs]] - Engagement against the Gripen is quite tricky for the Flanker, the aircraft possesses superior manoeuvrability than the Flanker and Eagle in most cases; combine that with the Gripen's AIM-9Ms/RB-74(M)s, direct short range confrontation is ill-advised as after 3 turns or 2, most fights wouldn't end well for the Flanker.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Excellent acceleration and engine power
* Airframe can pull very tight turns at speeds between ~500-700 km/h IAS
* Massive assortment of air-to-air weaponry, capable of carrying a maximum of 10 missiles, including six potent R-27ER SARH missiles
* GSh-30-1 is hard-hitting and capable of incapacitating most foes with a single well landed burst
* HMD is integrated with IR tracking support allowing R-73s to be launched off-boresight from unexpected angles
* Flares drop singularly on Mixed giving the player more flexibility when using them

'''Cons:'''

* Massive airframe compared to most contemporaries which makes for an easy target
* Control surfaces stiffens at speeds higher than 1,200 km/h
* Has a tendency to snap its wing at high speed whilst rolling excessively
* Poor energy retention below a speed of 1000km/h
* Low gun ammunition requires good trigger discipline and good aim to utilize effectively compared to its American counterparts

== History ==

Development of the Su-27 began at the Sukhoi Design Bureau in early 1971. In 1977, the first prototype was built for testing. Due to a change in the concept of future aircraft, the team of aircraft manufacturers had to design an essentially new aircraft, only partially using the developments of the original project. The new prototype was ready by the end of 1980, and its flight tests began in the spring of 1981. The first Su-27s began to enter service with the armed forces in 1984, even though tests of a number of systems had not yet been completed. Today, Su-27 fighters of various modifications are in service with Russia, China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other countries.

Each time War Thunder releases new modern air vehicles, the entire military aviation community changes its opinions about the vehicles. That's because the game itself has gained the heart of many young folks looking to get into the beauty of combat aircraft.

Addition of planes like the [[F-15A|F-15]] and the [[Su-27]] have severely changed the perspective of aerial combat for many of them, and as War Thunder progresses more and more into the present day, and maybe into the future, so will the creative minds of them.

=== War Thunder is a game, but it's not just that. ===
War Thunder is not just a game. It shaped childhoods (and still does!), while giving a good challenge to those who want one.

Is it perfect? No. But it's enough for hundreds of thousands of players to play the game each day, as they always do and will do.

Nothing lasts forever, so instead of arguing, remember the reason why you're here, united with millions.

== Description ==

By the turn of the millennium, the Russian VVS had fallen behind its adversaries again in terms of air power, due to the financial issues of post-Soviet Russia. With lack of funding resulting in the failure of the Mikoyan MFI and the MiG 1.44 program to produce a 5th generation frontline fighter to replace the MiG-29, a new aircraft was required to act as a counter to the latest [[F-16 (Family)|F-16]] variants and new Eurocanard fighters such as the Typhoon, Rafale, and Gripen. RSK MiG decided to restart development of their MiG-29SMT (9.17) from the mid-90s, and presented the idea of a MiG-29 modernized for the 21st century to the Russian government. With the cost savings of updating a older airframe being the main advantage, the development of the MiG-29SMT was greenlit, and the MiG-29SMT was heavily updated and upgraded into the 9.18 and 9.19 variants. To recoup some of the development costs, both variants were almost exclusively intended for export, with a special and slightly downgraded variant of the 9.19 created exclusively for the Russian VVS to save costs. The development of the 9.19 was finalized in 2006 with pre-production aircraft performing regular test flights and air-show demonstrations to lure foreign buyers. In the following years, the MiG-29SMT (9.19) would enter mass production where it would find homes with the Russian VVS, the Algerian Air Force, and the Syrian Arab Air Force.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''', introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]], brings a new taste to a formidable beast that most top-rank pilots in War Thunder are familiar with. While the flight performance feels significantly worse than its predecessor, the previous [[MiG-29|MiG-29 (9.13)]], the new MiG-29SMT brings to the table a completely game-changing set of weaponry, including some of the best air-to-air missiles in the game such as the R-73 and R-27E family. This, combined with the upgraded avionics, radar, and upgraded assortment of guided ground ordnance for precision CAS, makes the MiG-29SMT a very dangerous and formidable aircraft in the top ranks of War Thunder.

== Usage in battles ==

'''Air Combat'''

While the MiG-29SMT has reduced maneuverability from the added fuel tank, its still extremely strong in air combat.

When it comes to BVR, the MiG-29SMT dominates with the R-27ER missiles that have long range and acceptable overload, and its powerful radar that has a lot of special features and acceptable range.. This, along with the new SPO-150 RWR that increases situational awareness by giving information about the exact vehicle that's pinging the MiG-29SMT, makes it perfect for BVR combat.

In close range, this fighter is strong too. It carries the R-73, which is an extremely effective heat-seeking missile with 40G overload and great range for its type. You'll want to use it in unpredictable ways where the enemy won't expect it to track reliably to avoid being flared away by using the missile's wide gimbal limits.

'''CAS (Close Air Support)/Ground Attack'''

The MiG-29SMT has amazing ground ordnance that allows it to take down ground targets reliably. The TV guided KAB-500Kr-E bombs are incredibly useful, enough to take down several tanks with ease when multiple bombs are dropped. And if you mix the TV guided bombs with the new and improved Kh-29TD air-to-ground missiles, it becomes the perfect aircraft to attack ground targets while remaining viable as a fighter.

You can also select traditional dumb bombs and rockets that, if used with precision, can be lethal to anything that crosses their path.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Incredibly versatile weapon systems; some of the best air-to-air missiles in-game
* Very effective radar, IRST, and HMD targeting systems
* Unlike its predecessor, it has an improved digital RWR that increases awareness.
* Great upgrade in CAS capabilities over its predecessors
* "Rita" voice warning system

'''Cons:'''

* Increased weight over previous variants; heavily downgraded manoeuvrability and acceleration
* Bleeds energy dangerously fast during manoeuvres
* Less countermeasures than majority of its adversaries

== History ==

After the dissolution of the USSR, the Russian Federation sought to find a replacement for its aging older Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters, to match the 4+ and 5th generation capability of its NATO adversaries. The original program for a frontline fighter replacement for the MiG-29, the Mikoyan 1.44, failed due to lack of funding in post-Soviet Russia. Eventually, the Russian Federation would settle for heavily upgrading their existing MiG-29s into 4+ generation standards as a stop-gap solution not only for them, but also for export customers. The resulting project built upon Mikoyan's older ''Project 9.17A'', the original MiG-29SMT from 1996, upgrading it with 21st century avionics and equipment.
[[File:Mig-29smt.jpg|left|thumb|MiG-29SMT "02 Red" at Odintsovo, Russian Federation, circa 2009. This is the same aircraft that the default skin ingame is based on.]]
The "new" MiG-29SMT was split into two models, airframe numbers 9.18 and 9.19, and was developed throughout the early 2000s not only as Russia's new frontline fighter to replace the older MiG-29s, but also as a proper 4+ generation upgrade for export customers still using the older MiG-29A and MiG-29S, and as such was redesigned from the ground up. The new MiG-29SMT would incorporate a plethora of upgrades to differentiate it from all previous MiG-29s, and easily placing it on the same level of technological advancement as some other 4+ generation fighters. The MiG-29SMT, first and foremost, revamped the airframe and how it is controlled. The SMT received reinforced wings and fuel tanks to increase its range, and to account for the weight increase and changes in control, the aircraft features a hybrid control system of both mechanically linked hydraulics and fly-by-wire. The powerplant also included the option for uprated, higher thrust engines for export customers, as the Russian VVS opted out of this engine upgrade to keep unit costs down. One of the primary upgrades for the SMT was extending the poor range of previous MiG-29 variants. This was achieved by not only making the saddle fuel tank noticeably larger (giving the SMT its "hunchback" appearance), but by also adding a in-flight refueling probe on the portside of the nose, allowing for mid-air refueling. The 9.18 variant lacked the larger saddle tank to keep costs down and was marketed primarily for export to smaller countries where longer range was not a important factor. Yemen would be the only customer to purchase the 9.18.
[[File:Mig-29smt 2.jpg|thumb|MiG-29SMT "77 Green" demonstration at MAKS 2015]]
The MiG-29SMT also featured a full overhaul to its avionics suite, with the most important changes being the new Zhuk-M (N-010ME) radar, a modernized and heavily upgraded variant of the older N010 Zhuk originally intended for the [[Yak-141]], specific variants of the Su-27, and the MiG-29M modernization program. The new radar and fire control system were also linked to a new, state-of-the-art "Glass-cockpit" design, where instrumentation was either digitalized, or kept at a minimum for the sake of incorporating Color Multi-function Displays in the cockpit, to streamline the pilot's workload. The new radar and fire control system also allowed the new MiG-29SMT to carry a upgraded arsenal of weaponry, namely the R-74 and R-77 missiles, while also expanding upon the aircraft's CAS capabilities with new ground ordnance such as the [[Kh-29TD]], Kh-31, and [[KAB-500Kr-E (500 kg)|KAB-500Kr]]. The MiG-29SMT's fire control system also included software giving it compatibility with laser ordnance if a laser targeting pod was equipped, and compatibility with some NATO ordnance and targeting systems, intended for export customers' use with mixed hardware.

The MiG-29SMT (9.19) would first take to the skies in 2006, with deliveries to the Russian VVS starting in the following years. The 9.19 would also be exported to multiple countries throughout the 2010s, primarily Algeria and Syria, where it would see decent success in active combat with the latter country in the ongoing civil war. The same could not be said about Algeria, who had opted for the aforementioned option of having upgraded engines, but ended up returning some of the aircraft due to the engines being defective, and acquiring Su-30 aircraft instead to replace the defective MiG-29SMTs.

== Description ==

By the turn of the millennium, the Russian VVS had fallen behind its adversaries again in terms of air power, due to the financial issues of post-Soviet Russia. With lack of funding resulting in the failure of the Mikoyan MFI and the MiG 1.44 program to produce a 5th generation frontline fighter to replace the MiG-29, a new aircraft was required to act as a counter to the latest [[F-16 (Family)|F-16]] variants and new Eurocanard fighters such as the Typhoon, Rafale, and Gripen. RSK MiG decided to restart development of their MiG-29SMT (9.17) from the mid-90s, and presented the idea of a MiG-29 modernized for the 21st century to the Russian government. With the cost savings of updating a older airframe being the main advantage, the development of the MiG-29SMT was greenlit, and the MiG-29SMT was heavily updated and upgraded into the 9.18 and 9.19 variants. To recoup some of the development costs, both variants were almost exclusively intended for export, with a special and slightly downgraded variant of the 9.19 created exclusively for the Russian VVS to save costs. The development of the 9.19 was finalized in 2006 with pre-production aircraft performing regular test flights and air-show demonstrations to lure foreign buyers. In the following years, the MiG-29SMT (9.19) would enter mass production where it would find homes with the Russian VVS, the Algerian Air Force, and the Syrian Arab Air Force.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''', introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]], brings a new taste to a formidable beast that most top-rank pilots in War Thunder are familiar with. While the flight performance feels significantly worse than its predecessor, the previous [[MiG-29|MiG-29 (9.13)]], the new MiG-29SMT brings to the table a completely game-changing set of weaponry, including some of the best air-to-air missiles in the game such as the R-73 and R-27E family. This, combined with the upgraded avionics, radar, and upgraded assortment of guided ground ordnance for precision CAS, makes the MiG-29SMT a very dangerous and formidable aircraft in the top ranks of War Thunder.

== Usage in battles ==

'''Air Combat'''

While the MiG-29SMT has reduced maneuverability from the added fuel tank, its still extremely strong in air combat.

When it comes to BVR, the MiG-29SMT dominates with the R-27ER missiles that have long range and acceptable overload, and its powerful radar that has a lot of special features and acceptable range.. This, along with the new SPO-150 RWR that increases situational awareness by giving information about the exact vehicle that's pinging the MiG-29SMT, makes it perfect for BVR combat.

In close range, this fighter is strong too. It carries the R-73, which is an extremely effective heat-seeking missile with 40G overload and great range for its type. You'll want to use it in unpredictable ways where the enemy won't expect it to track reliably to avoid being flared away by using the missile's wide gimbal limits.

'''CAS (Close Air Support)/Ground Attack'''

The MiG-29SMT has amazing ground ordnance that allows it to take down ground targets reliably. The TV guided KAB-500Kr-E bombs are incredibly useful, enough to take down several tanks with ease when multiple bombs are dropped. And if you mix the TV guided bombs with the new and improved Kh-29TD air-to-ground missiles, it becomes the perfect aircraft to attack ground targets while remaining viable as a fighter.

You can also select traditional dumb bombs and rockets that, if used with precision, can be lethal to anything that crosses their path.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Incredibly versatile weapon systems; some of the best air-to-air missiles in-game
* Very effective radar, IRST, and HMD targeting systems
* Unlike its predecessor, it has an improved digital RWR that increases awareness.
* Great upgrade in CAS capabilities over its predecessors
* "Rita" voice warning system

'''Cons:'''

* Increased weight over previous variants; heavily downgraded manoeuvrability and acceleration
* Bleeds energy dangerously fast during manoeuvres
* Less countermeasures than majority of its adversaries

== History ==

After the dissolution of the USSR, the Russian Federation sought to find a replacement for its aging older Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters, to match the 4+ and 5th generation capability of its NATO adversaries. The original program for a frontline fighter replacement for the MiG-29, the Mikoyan 1.44, failed due to lack of funding in post-Soviet Russia. Eventually, the Russian Federation would settle for heavily upgrading their existing MiG-29s into 4+ generation standards as a stop-gap solution not only for them, but also for export customers. The resulting project built upon Mikoyan's older ''Project 9.17A'', the original MiG-29SMT from 1996, upgrading it with 21st century avionics and equipment.
[[File:Mig-29smt.jpg|left|thumb|MiG-29SMT "02 Red" at Odintsovo, Russian Federation, circa 2009. This is the same aircraft that the default skin ingame is based on.]]
The "new" MiG-29SMT was split into two models, airframe numbers 9.18 and 9.19, and was developed throughout the early 2000s not only as Russia's new frontline fighter to replace the older MiG-29s, but also as a proper 4+ generation upgrade for export customers still using the older MiG-29A and MiG-29S, and as such was redesigned from the ground up. The new MiG-29SMT would incorporate a plethora of upgrades to differentiate it from all previous MiG-29s, and easily placing it on the same level of technological advancement as some other 4+ generation fighters. The MiG-29SMT, first and foremost, revamped the airframe and how it is controlled. The SMT received reinforced wings and fuel tanks to increase its range, and to account for the weight increase and changes in control, the aircraft features a hybrid control system of both mechanically linked hydraulics and fly-by-wire. The powerplant also included the option for uprated, higher thrust engines for export customers, as the Russian VVS opted out of this engine upgrade to keep unit costs down. One of the primary upgrades for the SMT was extending the poor range of previous MiG-29 variants. This was achieved by not only making the saddle fuel tank noticeably larger (giving the SMT its "hunchback" appearance), but by also adding a in-flight refueling probe on the portside of the nose, allowing for mid-air refueling. The 9.18 variant lacked the larger saddle tank to keep costs down and was marketed primarily for export to smaller countries where longer range was not a important factor. Yemen would be the only customer to purchase the 9.18.
[[File:Mig-29smt 2.jpg|thumb|MiG-29SMT "77 Green" demonstration at MAKS 2015]]
The MiG-29SMT also featured a full overhaul to its avionics suite, with the most important changes being the new Zhuk-M (N-010ME) radar, a modernized and heavily upgraded variant of the older N010 Zhuk originally intended for the [[Yak-141]], specific variants of the Su-27, and the MiG-29M modernization program. The new radar and fire control system were also linked to a new, state-of-the-art "Glass-cockpit" design, where instrumentation was either digitalized, or kept at a minimum for the sake of incorporating Color Multi-function Displays in the cockpit, to streamline the pilot's workload. The new radar and fire control system also allowed the new MiG-29SMT to carry a upgraded arsenal of weaponry, namely the R-74 and R-77 missiles, while also expanding upon the aircraft's CAS capabilities with new ground ordnance such as the [[Kh-29TD]], Kh-31, and [[KAB-500Kr-E (500 kg)|KAB-500Kr]]. The MiG-29SMT's fire control system also included software giving it compatibility with laser ordnance if a laser targeting pod was equipped, and compatibility with some NATO ordnance and targeting systems, intended for export customers' use with mixed hardware.

The MiG-29SMT (9.19) would first take to the skies in 2006, with deliveries to the Russian VVS starting in the following years. The 9.19 would also be exported to multiple countries throughout the 2010s, primarily Algeria and Syria, where it would see decent success in active combat with the latter country in the ongoing civil war. The same could not be said about Algeria, who had opted for the aforementioned option of having upgraded engines, but ended up returning some of the aircraft due to the engines being defective, and acquiring Su-30 aircraft instead to replace the defective MiG-29SMTs.

Radar warning receiver

U138997472: Minor rewriting.

[[File:Radar warning receiver.jpg|thumb|The War Thunder standard RWR display showing a Pulse-Doppler "track" on 5 o'clock.]]
A Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) is a system that informs the pilot about incoming radar radiation, allowing for proper action if needed. In game, the RWR varies a lot between models, but most of them are a clock display which shows the type of threat (search radar or tracking radar), the source and the direction.

== Understanding the RWR ==
<blockquote>{{Notice|Note: Radar Warning Recievers are only capable of detecting certain bands. Therefore, it may not be able to give a warning for radars outside of the RWR's band range.}}</blockquote>

==== Basic function ====
The RWR warns the pilot about any outside radar that may be detecting, tracking or launching a radar guided missile at the user's aircraft, as long as the threat isn't in the RWR blindspots (often directly above or below)

If a radar is sending a single "ping" at you (a search radar is detecting you), the RWR will sound a short warning and show the direction it is coming from. RWR can show multiple pings at once from different directions and sources. If you hear a constant alarm and see a striped line coming from the ping towards the center of the RWR, a tracking radar has locked you and is constantly tracking your position (which usually precedes a missile launch). Finally, a faster alarm along with blinking warnings in the RWR indicate a missile launch, which requires inmediate action.

Some RWRs are unable of distinguishing between search radars and tracking radars, so if your RWR is one of them, instead of a constant alarm you may only be able to distinguish between the both by how frequently the ping updates (A constant tone that doesn't go away may indicate a tracking radar).

There may be lamps which indicate the type of radar that's detecting or tracking the aircraft, for example PD (Pulse-Doppler), A/D (Air Defence), AAA/AI (Anti-Aircraft Artillery/Airbone Radar) and much more, although the most dangerous of them all is CW which is the guidance method for most SAHR missiles.

Now, there are many types of RWR which vary a lot in function, which will be now explained in detail accordingly[[File:Rwr2.jpg|thumb|RWR indicating a radar lock at 2 o'clock.]]

==== Standard RWR ====
This type of RWR is the one that's commonly found on most aircraft that carry one. They display the exact direction and the type of threat that's detecting the aircraft.

Many of them are capable of detecting tracking radars, and some can even detect if the threat has launched a radar guided missile, allowing for inmediate evasive action. More advanced RWRs may be able to show the vehicle that's triggering the RWR as long as they're inside the RWR's database.
==== Sectored RWR (SPO-10, SPO-15 and others) ====
[[File:SPO-10.jpg|thumb|SPO-10 RWR.]]
[[File:Rwr4.jpg|thumb|A soviet SPO-15 RWR.]]
This type of RWR doesn't display the exact direction of the detected threat, and instead only shows it in sectors. One of the most common RWRs that use sectors for displaying threats are the ones used by the MiG-21 and early MiG-23 variants, which only show 4 sectors. Each sector shows an approximation of the direction of the target, although it has its limitations. In order to show that a target is directly ahead, the RWR has to light up 2 sectors that look forwards, and if a target is directly behind, it has to light up 2 sectors that look backwards. This could be easily confused for two different threats that are triggering the RWR system.

==== Semi-Directional RWR (SPO-2) ====
Unique to the Su-7B family of jets and the MiG-19S, this RWR only warns about radiation that's coming from behind as it only has a single antenna. Historically, this RWR was designed to warn the pilot about an enemy that was using the rangefinder radar behind the aircraft, but in-game it gives proper warnings up to 40km away as long as the radiation is an I Band type coming from the rear. Note that this RWR lacks tracking capability.

==== RWR with no tracking capability (AN/ALR-45, AN/APR-25, f95, SPO-2, APP-73 and others) ====
These RWRs function like normal with a key difference: If a radar locks the aircraft, there won't be a special text and audio warning, forcing the user to be more attentive to the RWR display and sounds.

However, these RWRs can still show the difference between a search and a tracking radar, as once the plane is being tracked, the search ping extends into a constant tone that won't go away, along with the ping icon refusing to fade away.

Note that even if the RWR lacks tracking capability, it may still be able to give proper missile launch warnings if the RWR has that capability.

A Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) is a system that informs the pilot about incoming radar radiation, allowing for proper action if needed. In game, the RWR varies a lot between models, but most of them are a clock display which shows the type of threat (search radar or tracking radar), the source and the direction.

== Understanding the RWR ==
<blockquote>{{Notice|Note: Radar Warning Recievers are only capable of detecting certain bands. Therefore, it may not be able to give a warning for radars outside of the RWR's band range.}}</blockquote>

==== Basic function ====
The RWR warns the pilot about any outside radar that may be detecting, tracking or launching a missile at the user's aircraft, as long as the threat isn't in the RWR blindspots (often directly above or below)

If a radar is sending a single "ping" at you (a search radar is detecting you), the RWR will sound a short warning and show the direction it is coming from. RWR can show multiple pings at once from different directions and sources. If you hear a constant alarm and see a striped line coming from the ping towards the center of the RWR, a tracking radar has locked you and is constantly tracking your position (which usually precedes a missile launch). Finally, a faster alarm along with blinking warnings in the RWR indicate a missile launch, which requires inmediate action.

Some RWRs are unable of distinguishing between search radars and tracking radars, so if your RWR is one of them, instead of a constant alarm you may only be able to distinguish between the both by how frequently the ping updates (A constant tone that doesn't go away may indicate a tracking radar).

There may be lamps which indicate the type of radar that's detecting or tracking the aircraft, for example PD (Pulse-Doppler), A/D (Air Defence), AAA/AI (Anti-Aircraft Artillery/Airbone Radar) and much more, although the most dangerous of them all is CW which is the guidance method for most SAHR missiles.

Now, there are many types of RWR which vary a lot in function, which will be now explained in detail accordingly[[File:Rwr2.jpg|thumb|RWR indicating a radar lock at 2 o'clock.]]

==== Standard RWR ====
This type of RWR is the one that's commonly found on most aircraft that carry one. They display the exact direction and the type of threat that's detecting the aircraft.

Many of them are capable of detecting tracking radars, and some can even detect if the threat has launched a missile, allowing for inmediate evasive action. More advanced RWRs may be able to show the vehicle that's triggering the RWR as long as they're inside the RWR's database.
==== Sectored RWR (SPO-10, SPO-15 and others) ====
[[File:SPO-10.jpg|thumb|SPO-10 RWR.]]
[[File:Rwr4.jpg|thumb|A soviet SPO-15 RWR.]]
This type of RWR doesn't display the exact direction of the detected threat, and instead only shows it in sectors. One of the most common RWRs that use sectors for displaying threats are the ones used by the MiG-21 and early MiG-23 variants, which only show 4 sectors. Each sector shows an approximation of the direction of the target, although it has its limitations. In order to show that a target is directly ahead, the RWR has to light up 2 sectors that look forwards, and if a target is directly behind, it has to light up 2 sectors that look backwards. This could be easily confused for two different threats that are triggering the RWR system.

==== Semi-Directional RWR (SPO-2) ====
Unique to the Su-7B family of jets and the MiG-19S, this RWR only warns about radiation that's coming from behind as it only has a single antenna. Historically, this RWR was designed to warn the pilot about an enemy that was using the rangefinder radar behind the aircraft, but in-game it gives proper warnings up to 40km away as long as the radiation is an I Band type coming from the rear. Note that this RWR lacks tracking capability.

==== RWR with no tracking capability (AN/ALR-45, AN/APR-25, f95, SPO-2, APP-73 and others) ====
These RWRs function like normal with a key difference: If a plane locks the aircraft, there won't be a special text and audio warning, forcing the user to be more attentive to the RWR display and sounds.

However, these RWRs can still show the difference between a search and a tracking radar, as once the plane is being tracked, the search ping extends into a constant tone that won't go away, along with the ping icon refusing to fade away.

Note that even if the RWR lacks tracking capability, it may still be able to give proper missile launch warnings if the RWR has that capability.

[[File:Radar warning receiver.jpg|thumb|The War Thunder standard RWR display showing a Pulse-Doppler "track" on 5 o'clock.]]
A Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) is a system that informs the pilot about incoming radar radiation, allowing for proper action if needed. In game, the RWR varies a lot between models, but most of them are a clock display which shows the type of threat (search radar or tracking radar), the source and the direction.

== Understanding the RWR ==
<blockquote>{{Notice|Note: Radar Warning Recievers are only capable of detecting certain bands. Therefore, it may not be able to give a warning for radars outside of the RWR's band range.}}</blockquote>

==== Basic function ====
The RWR warns the pilot about any outside radar that may be detecting, tracking or launching a missile at the user's aircraft, as long as the threat isn't in the RWR blindspots (often directly above or below)

If a radar is sending a single "ping" at you (a search radar is detecting you), the RWR will sound a short warning and show the direction it is coming from. RWR can show multiple pings at once from different directions and sources. If you hear a constant alarm and see a striped line coming from the ping towards the center of the RWR, a tracking radar has locked you and is constantly tracking your position (which usually precedes a missile launch). Finally, a faster alarm along with blinking warnings in the RWR indicate a missile launch, which requires inmediate action.

Some RWRs are unable of distinguishing between search radars and tracking radars, so if your RWR is one of them, instead of a constant alarm you may only be able to distinguish between the both by how frequently the ping updates (A constant tone that doesn't go away may indicate a tracking radar).

Now, there are many types of RWR which vary a lot in function, which will be now explained in detail accordingly[[File:Rwr2.jpg|thumb|RWR indicating a radar lock at 2 o'clock.]]

==== Standard RWR ====
This type of RWR is the one that's commonly found on most aircraft that carry one. They display the exact direction and the type of threat that's detecting the aircraft.

Many of them are capable of detecting tracking radars, and some can even detect if the threat has launched a missile, allowing for inmediate evasive action. More advanced RWRs may be able to show the vehicle that's triggering the RWR as long as they're inside the RWR's database.
==== Sectored RWR (SPO-10, SPO-15 and others) ====
[[File:SPO-10.jpg|thumb|SPO-10 RWR.]]
[[File:Rwr4.jpg|thumb|A soviet SPO-15 RWR.]]
This type of RWR doesn't display the exact direction of the detected threat, and instead only shows it in sectors. One of the most common RWRs that use sectors for displaying threats are the ones used by the MiG-21 and early MiG-23 variants, which only show 4 sectors. Each sector shows an approximation of the direction of the target, although it has its limitations. In order to show that a target is directly ahead, the RWR has to light up 2 sectors that look forwards, and if a target is directly behind, it has to light up 2 sectors that look backwards. This could be easily confused for two different threats that are triggering the RWR system.

==== Semi-Directional RWR (SPO-2) ====
Unique to the Su-7B family of jets and the MiG-19S, this RWR only warns about radiation that's coming from behind as it only has a single antenna. Historically, this RWR was designed to warn the pilot about an enemy that was using the rangefinder radar behind the aircraft, but in-game it gives proper warnings up to 40km away as long as the radiation is an I Band type coming from the rear. Note that this RWR lacks tracking capability.

==== RWR with no tracking capability (AN/ALR-45, AN/APR-25, f95, SPO-2, APP-73 and others) ====
These RWRs function like normal with a key difference: If a plane locks the aircraft, there won't be a special text and audio warning, forcing the user to be more attentive to the RWR display and sounds.

However, these RWRs can still show the difference between a search and a tracking radar, as once the plane is being tracked, the search ping extends into a constant tone that won't go away, along with the ping icon refusing to fade away.

Note that even if the RWR lacks tracking capability, it may still be able to give proper missile launch warnings if the RWR has that capability.

Radar warning receiver

[[File:Radar Warning Receiver.jpg|thumb|The War Thunder standard RWR display showing a "ping" on 7 o'clock.]]
A Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) is a system that informs the pilot about incoming radar radiation, allowing for proper action if needed. In game, the RWR varies a lot between models, but most of them are a clock display which shows the type of threat (search radar or tracking radar), the source and the direction.

== Understanding the RWR ==
<blockquote>{{Notice|Note: Radar Warning Recievers are only capable of detecting certain bands. Therefore, it may not be able to give a warning for radars outside of the RWR's band range.}}</blockquote>

==== Basic function ====
The RWR warns the pilot about any outside radar that may be detecting, tracking or launching a missile at the user's aircraft, as long as the threat isn't in the RWR blindspots (often directly above or below)

If a radar is sending a single "ping" at you (a search radar is detecting you), the RWR will sound a short warning and show the direction it is coming from. RWR can show multiple pings at once from different directions and sources. If you hear a constant alarm and see a striped line coming from the ping towards the center of the RWR, a tracking radar has locked you and is constantly tracking your position (which usually precedes a missile launch). Finally, a faster alarm along with blinking warnings in the RWR indicate a missile launch, which requires inmediate action.

Some RWRs are unable of distinguishing between search radars and tracking radars, so if your RWR is one of them, instead of a constant alarm you may only be able to distinguish between the both by how frequently the ping updates (A constant tone that doesn't go away may indicate a tracking radar).

There may be lamps which indicate the type of radar that's detecting or tracking the aircraft, for example PD (Pulse-Doppler), A/D (Air Defence), AAA/AI (Anti-Aircraft Artillery/Airbone Radar) and much more, although the most dangerous of them all is CW which is the guidance method for most SAHR missiles.

Now, there are many types of RWR which vary a lot in function, which will be now explained in detail accordingly[[File:Rwr2.jpg|thumb|RWR indicating a radar lock at 2 o'clock.]]

==== Standard RWR ====
This type of RWR is the one that's commonly found on most aircraft that carry one. They display the exact direction and the type of threat that's detecting the aircraft.

Many of them are capable of detecting tracking radars, and some can even detect if the threat has launched a missile, allowing for inmediate evasive action. More advanced RWRs may be able to show the vehicle that's triggering the RWR as long as they're inside the RWR's database.
==== Sectored RWR (SPO-10, SPO-15 and others) ====
This type of RWR doesn't display the exact direction of the detected threat, and instead only shows it in sectors. One of the most common RWRs that use sectors for displaying threats are the ones used by the MiG-21 and early MiG-23 variants, which only show 4 sectors. Each sector shows an approximation of the direction of the target, although it has its limitations. In order to show that a target is directly ahead, the RWR has to light up 2 sectors that look forwards, and if a target is directly behind, it has to light up 2 sectors that look backwards. This could be easily confused for two different threats that are triggering the RWR system.

==== Semi-Directional RWR (SPO-2) ====
Unique to the Su-7B family of jets and the MiG-19S, this RWR only warns about radiation that's coming from behind as it only has a single antenna. Historically, this RWR was designed to warn the pilot about an enemy that was using the rangefinder radar behind the aircraft, but in-game it gives proper warnings up to 40km away as long as the radiation is an I Band type coming from the rear. Note that this RWR lacks tracking capability.

==== RWR with no tracking capability (AN/ALR-45, AN/APR-25, f95, SPO-2, APP-73 and others) ====
These RWRs function like normal with a key difference: If a plane locks the aircraft, there won't be a special text and audio warning, forcing the user to be more attentive to the RWR display and sounds.

However, these RWRs can still show the difference between a search and a tracking radar, as once the plane is being tracked, the search ping extends into a constant tone that won't go away, along with the ping icon refusing to fade away.

Note that even if the RWR lacks tracking capability, it may still be able to give proper missile launch warnings if the RWR has that capability.

<blockquote>{{Notice|Note: Radar Warning Recievers are only capable of detecting certain bands. Therefore, it may not be able to give a warning for radars outside of the RWR's band range.}}</blockquote>

==== Basic function ====
The RWR warns the pilot about any outside radar that may be detecting, tracking or launching a missile at the user's aircraft, as long as the threat isn't in the RWR blindspots (often directly above or below)

If a radar is sending a single "ping" at you (a search radar is detecting you), the RWR will sound a short warning and show the direction it is coming from. RWR can show multiple pings at once from different directions and sources. If you hear a constant alarm and see a striped line coming from the ping towards the center of the RWR, a tracking radar has locked you and is constantly tracking your position (which usually precedes a missile launch). Finally, a faster alarm along with blinking warnings in the RWR indicate a missile launch, which requires inmediate action.

Some RWRs are unable of distinguishing between search radars and tracking radars, so if your RWR is one of them, instead of a constant alarm you may only be able to distinguish between the both by how frequently the ping updates (A constant tone that doesn't go away may indicate a tracking radar).

There may be lamps which indicate the type of radar that's detecting or tracking the aircraft, for example PD (Pulse-Doppler), A/D (Air Defence), AAA/AI (Anti-Aircraft Artillery/Airbone Radar) and much more, although the most dangerous of them all is CW which is the guidance method for most SAHR missiles.

Now, there are many types of RWR which vary a lot in function, which will be now explained in detail accordingly[[File:Rwr2.jpg|thumb|RWR indicating a radar lock at 2 o'clock.]]

==== Standard RWR ====
This type of RWR is the one that's commonly found on most aircraft that carry one. They display the exact direction and the type of threat that's detecting the aircraft.

Many of them are capable of detecting tracking radars, and some can even detect if the threat has launched a missile, allowing for inmediate evasive action. More advanced RWRs may be able to show the vehicle that's triggering the RWR as long as they're inside the RWR's database.
==== Sectored RWR (SPO-10, SPO-15 and others) ====
This type of RWR doesn't display the exact direction of the detected threat, and instead only shows it in sectors. One of the most common RWRs that use sectors for displaying threats are the ones used by the MiG-21 and early MiG-23 variants, which only show 4 sectors. Each sector shows an approximation of the direction of the target, although it has its limitations. In order to show that a target is directly ahead, the RWR has to light up 2 sectors that look forwards, and if a target is directly behind, it has to light up 2 sectors that look backwards. This could be easily confused for two different threats that are triggering the RWR system.

==== Semi-Directional RWR (SPO-2) ====
Unique to the Su-7B family of jets and the MiG-19S, this RWR only warns about radiation that's coming from behind as it only has a single antenna. Historically, this RWR was designed to warn the pilot about an enemy that was using the rangefinder radar behind the aircraft, but in-game it gives proper warnings up to 40km away as long as the radiation is an I Band type coming from the rear. Note that this RWR lacks tracking capability.

==== RWR with no tracking capability (AN/ALR-45, AN/APR-25, f95, SPO-2, APP-73 and others) ====
These RWRs function like normal with a key difference: If a plane locks the aircraft, there won't be a special text and audio warning, forcing the user to be more attentive to the RWR display and sounds.

However, these RWRs can still show the difference between a search and a tracking radar, as once the plane is being tracked, the search ping extends into a constant tone that won't go away, along with the ping icon refusing to fade away.

Radar warning receiver

U138997472: Minor fixes

Now, there are many types of RWR which vary a lot in function, which will be now explained in detail accordingly

==== Sectored RWR (SPO-2, SPO-10, SPO-15) ====
This type of RWR doesn't display the exact direction of the detected threat, and instead only shows it in sectors. One of the most common RWRs that use sectors for displaying threats are the ones used by the MiG-21 and early MiG-23 variants, which only show 4 sectors. Each sector shows an approximation of the direction of the target, although it has its limitations. In order to show that a target is directly ahead, the RWR has to light up 2 sectors that look forwards, and if a target is directly behind, it has to light up 2 sectors that look backwards. This could be easily confused for two different threats that are triggering the RWR system.

==== Standard RWR ====
This type of RWR is the one that's commonly found on most aircraft that carry one. They display the exact direction and the type of threat that's detecting the aircraft.

Many of them are capable of detecting tracking radars, and some can even detect if the threat has launched a missile. More advanced RWRs may be able to show the vehicle that's triggering the RWR as long as they're inside the RWR's database.

Some helicopter RWR sets in-game have what's known as MAW (Missile Approach Warning), which warns the user about a missile launch that's heading directly to the user's vehicle. A few of these helicopters have the ability to automatically drop countermeasures when a MAW warning is active.

Radar warning receiver

2023-09-20T02:31:06Z

U138997472: Preparation for further changes which I'll do soon regarding the new additions.

[[File:Radar Warning Receiver.jpg|thumb|The War Thunder standard RWR display showing a "ping" on 7 o'clock.]]
A Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) is a system that informs the pilot about incoming radar radiation. In game the RWR is a clock display that shows the type of threat (detected by radar or tracked by radar), its source and its direction. Some RWR systems don't have the capability of giving a precise direction, and therefore only shows sectors.

If a radar is sending a single "ping" at you (a search radar is detecting you), the RWR will sound a short warning and show the direction it is coming from. RWR can show multiple pings at once from different directions and sources. If you hear a constant alarm and see a striped line coming from the ping towards the center of the RWR, a tracking radar has locked you and is constantly tracking your position (which usually precedes a missile launch). Finally, a faster alarm along with blinking warnings in the RWR indicate a missile launch, which requires inmediate action.

Some helicopter RWR sets in-game have what's known as MAW (Missile Approach Warning), which warns the user about a missile launch that's heading directly to the user's vehicle. A few of these helicopters have the ability to automatically drop countermeasures when a MAW warning is active.

Su-7B

2023-09-03T23:24:38Z

U138997472: Extremely minor change: Two fixed typos.

{{About
| about = Soviet strike aircraft '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

{{Specs-Card
|code=su-7b

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet strike aircraft {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Starfighters"]].

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

The Su-7B is characterized by a low BR for a supersonic jet and amazing acceleration. With a 1-1 thrust-weight ratio when at optimal fuel load and spaded, it can reliably punch above its weight. The Sukhoi accelerates extremely well, outspeeding every supersonic at its BR except for MiG-21s. The manoeuvrability isn't bad, either - It can easily turn with supersonic aircraft such as MiG-21s, Harriers or A-7s. However, you must keep in mind that the plane has a tendency to break its wings if in a sustained 9+G turn at high speeds, and that you are not invulnerable while turning. You are giant, almost twice as big as a MiG-21, so be sure to not overstay your welcome in a dogfight and zoom away as soon as possible.

{{main|NR-30 (30 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 2 x 30 mm NR-30 cannons, wing-mounted (80 rpg = 160 total)

The Su-7B comes equipped with 2 x 30 mm NR-30 cannons; these will be familiar to pilots which flew the succeeding [[Su-7BKL]], or the [[MiG-19PT]] and [[MiG-21F-13]] in the parallel line. The [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7]] has greater ammunition capacity than earlier MiGs with the gun, 160 rounds giving a trigger time of approximately 4.8 seconds. With velocity ranging from 780-785 m/s depending on the shell, this is much faster than the earlier [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] or [[N-37D (37 mm)|N-37D]] found on earlier Soviet jets. This greatly simplifies aiming, and with the 67.14 g of TNTe filler found in the {{Annotation|HEF-I|High-explosive fragmentation incendiary}} and {{Annotation|HEFI-T|High-explosive fragmentation incendiary tracer}} shells, hits from this cannon will usually cripple or destroy enemy aircraft on the first hit. As the Su-7BKL is a strike fighter the guns may also be used against armoured targets; the mix of {{Annotation|AP-T|Armour-piercing tracer}} with 48 mm penetration and {{Annotation|APHE|Armour-piercing high-explosive}} with 37 mm penetration, but 22.48 g TNTe of explosive filler will do significant damage to enemy armour. It is recommended to attack from above, as most enemy tanks have weak roof armour and can be more effectively penetrated from above.

== Usage in battles ==


The Su-7B has a very good acceleration and can outspeed most jets, it can easily dodge incoming missiles by turning as it can turn and still maintain most of its speed (mind the G forces as it can easily break your plane apart and make the pilot lose consciousness). The Su-7B sports 30 mm NR-30 cannons and can also be equipped with both bombs and rockets for various types of playstyle. The Su-7B also comes with a rangefinding radar and the S-24 can be put on a distance fuse to be used in air combat.

'''Air combat'''

At the start of a match, take 27 minutes of fuel and equip Air targets belt. Start ascending on a 20-30° angle to an altitude of 7-9 km, your goal is to get behind the enemies in order to easily take care of them without their knowledge of your presence. Keep flying at this altitude and overfly enemy fighters. If there is an enemy at this altitude, feel free to engage into a head-on or dodge them. Keep flying above the enemies until there are none underneath you, turn around and start descending while keeping an eye on your speed. Go for the nearest enemy or slowest (A-10s for example). Get behind them and approach as fast as possible as speed is your greatest advantage. Start firing when you're close enough. If the enemy is eliminated, go for the next one, but if you missed do not engage into a dogfight: maintain your speed and go after the next target. If there are any AI planes, you can safely go after them and make use of your gyro linked gunsight to auto adjust your guns' distance. Align your plane behind the AI plane, put your gunsight's dot on the plane, and shoot a short burst of rounds (it is more precise in the first person view). After having expended your ammunition, you can return back to the base to continue fighting or swap tactics.

'''Attacking ground targets'''

At the start of a match, equip the 28 x S-3K rockets or the 64 x S-5K rockets (which will be helpful to take care of light and medium tanks). Start ascending on a 5° angle until above 1 km altitude, you will need the speed to quickly evade enemies and enemy missiles. It's best to flank and fly to the far sides of the map, so you can easily fly in a straight line and take care of ground targets one after the other. When firing at a ground target: any tank except for medium and heavy tanks requires a single hit by both rockets, while medium and heavy tanks would require 2 or more rockets. Always keep a eye on your surroundings as you're flying fast at a low altitude, which can catch the attention of enemy jets who will then try to engage you. Maintaining a high speed is important, in case a missile is fired at you. After depleting all of your rockets, you can head back to base to resupply rockets or start going after enemy players or AI planes.

'''Bombing bases'''

At the start of a match, equip the 4 x ZB-360 bombs (as that is enough to take care of a base). And start ascending on a 10° angle to 1-2 km, you might be behind everyone a little bit but the higher top speed and acceleration you will get on this altitude will make up for it. Start heading for any enemy base and keep this altitude. Avoid any head-on and beware of enemies below and above you with missiles that might eliminate you. When you're near the base, start diving, enable your airbrakes, and get into position to drop your payload. Once bombs have been dropped, you can head back to base for another bombing run or start going after enemy players, AI planes or ground targets. The choice is yours.

'''CAS ground'''

When flying the Su-7B, equip the 4 x S-24 rockets (as a single hit from these is enough to take care of any ground target). Start heading to the battle area and keep a high altitude to avoid SPAAs and enemy planes. Once close enough, start diving and search for targets to fire at. If there is a SPAA that starts shooting at you, prioritize it above everything else. If there are no SPAAs, fire a single rocket at a target and go after the next one (even if it misses the target, the rocket will overpressurize them). Once too low, start pulling up and gain altitude again, then repeat this process until you're out of rockets. You can then go to base to resupply or go after enemy planes, soft ground targets or helicopters.

'''Enemies worth noting'''

[[A-10A]] / [[A-10A Late]]: these American strike aircraft might seem slow but they have access to the mid-range and fast [[AIM-9L Sidewinder]] air-to-air missiles which are very accurate. It's almost impossible to dodge them even when flying above Mach 1.1. It's best to keep a distance from the A-10s, as the missiles have an all-aspect tracking and dodging them in a head-on is close to impossible. The best way to defeat the A-10 is from behind, as even from the sides the A-10 can quickly turn around and fire a missile. When coming at it from behind, approach as fast as possible as the A-10 is slow. Speed is your advantage to quickly win the fight if it doesn't respond fast enough. If you miss the attack, quickly turn back around and hope that the A-10 won't fire its missile at you. After a missed interception it's best to leave the A-10 and go after other targets as now the A-10 is aware of your presence, and going for a second interception would be taking an unnecessary risk.

=== Radars ===

The Su-7B is equipped with a SRD-5 rangefinding radar, located in the nose of the aircraft.
It will automatically detect other planes within the scanning area and display the range to the closest target. It is linked with a gyro gunsight and can help with aiming at close range.

* No air-to-air missiles

== History ==


On May 14th 1953, shortly after Stalin's death and the reopening of the Sukhoi OKB, they began work on a swept-wing front-line fighter. Their first prototype was named S-1 and was fitted with the all-new Lyulka AL-7 turbojet. It was the first Soviet aircraft to utilize the all-moving tailplane and a translating centerbody, plus a dramatic wing sweep of 60°, irreversible hydraulically boosted controls, and an ejection seat of Sukhoi's own design. After the success of the S-1, production began with the S-2. later renamed the '''Su-7'''.

Later, on 31 July 1958, the Soviet Tactical Aviation tasked Sukhoi with developing a ground-attack variant of the Su-7, which could replace the scrapped Ilyushin [[IL-10 (Family)|IL-10]]. The resulting prototype, S-22, incorporated structural refinements for high-speed, low-altitude operations. It first flew in March 1959 and entered service in 1961 as the '''Su-7B'''.

=== [[wt:en/news/6738-development-su-7b-new-doctrine-en|Devblog]] ===
With the development of jet aviation, piston-engined attack aircraft quickly became an anachronism; a need arose for a new class of front-line aircraft - a fighter bomber. In the USSR, the MiG-15 and MiG-17 fighter jets were used to replace the piston-engined IL-10 to support the ground forces from the air, but it was quite obvious that a specialized machine was needed to fulfill the tasks of the fighter-bomber. The most suitable candidate was the Sukhoi Su-7 fighter jet, taken as the basis for the Su-7B fighter-bomber project. By the end of 1958, the first prototype was ready with the new AL-7F-1 engine. For almost two years, the aircraft underwent intensive testing and refinement, and in 1960 the new fighter-bomber went into mass production. Of the 431 planned, 344 Su-7Bs were built to equip up to 25 combat units. From the beginning of the 1970s, the Su-7B aircraft began to be replaced with more modern modifications and models.

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}

The Su-25BM's airframe is strong, able to take hits on critical parts of the aircraft and still make it to base. The Su-25BM has plenty of armor around the cockpit and inside the fuselage, with bulletproof glass being the main protection of the pilot.

256 countermeasures (can be flares, chaff or both) allow the aircraft to avoid IR and radar guided missiles with ease. This, and the fact that the engines lack any type of afterburner/WEP, makes it hard for enemy missiles to follow the Su-25BM reliably. Only the more advanced missiles are able to get a good lock on the Su-25BM, and even then, maneuvering after dropping 2 or 4 flares will be more than enough to avoid most of them.

Fuel tanks are self-sealing, which means that in case of any fuel tank fire, the fuel tank will be able to stop the fire most of the time. In case a fire happens inside the engine and not on a fuel tank, the Su-25BM also has EFS as a modification. This modification is capable of extinguishing any fire that's inside an engine, leaving the affected engine inoperable, while saving the airframe from further fire damage.

== Usage in battles ==

The Su-25BM is very effective at its ground attack role, having an extremely wide variety of bombs, rockets and missiles. This particular Su-25 variant has a powerful Ballistic Computer, higher amount of bombs and being able of mounting 256 S-5K rockets. Durable and powerful, it can now defend itself more reliably with the R-73 missiles, which are advanced air-to-air missiles that turn the Su-25BM into a threat for enemy aircraft that try to engage it. However, this plane will have many fierce enemies: With a Battle Rating of 11.3 in all gamemodes, this plane will have to fly with advanced fighters and ground attack aircraft around, usually facing SARH or ARH missiles, so the pilot must avoid any kind of air-to-air combat and only use its R-73 in self-defense when a fighter is either going or about to engage.

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* Mounts R-73 missiles, which are extremely effective
* Capable of equipping a large amount of air-to-ground armament
* Powerful chin-mounted 30mm cannon

'''Cons:'''

* Has a relatively low top speed, capable of ripping its own wings in level flight
* Low amount of ammo for the 30mm cannon

== Usage in battles ==

The Su-25BM is very effective at its ground attack role, having an extremely wide variety of bombs, rockets and missiles. This particular Su-25 variant has a powerful Ballistic Computer, higher amount of bombs and being able of mounting 256 S-5K rockets. Durable and powerful, it can now defend itself more reliably with the R-73 missiles, which are advanced air-to-air missiles that turn the Su-25BM into a threat for enemy aircraft that try to engage it. However, this plane will have many fierce enemies: With a Battle Rating of 11.3 in all gamemodes, this plane will have to fly with advanced fighters and ground attack aircraft around, usually facing SARH or ARH missiles, so the pilot must avoid any kind of air-to-air combat and only use its R-73 in self-defense when a fighter is either going or about to engage.

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* Mounts R-73 missiles, which are extremely effective
* Capable of equipping a large amount of air-to-ground armament
* Powerful chin-mounted 30mm cannon

'''Cons:'''

* Has a relatively low top speed, capable of ripping its own wings in level flight
* Low amount of ammo for the 30mm cannon

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.

U138997472: Rewriting of the page itself, making it more clear and adding more information.

[[File:Radar Warning Receiver.jpg|thumb|The War Thunder standard RWR display showing a "ping" on 7 o'clock.]]
A Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) is a system that informs the pilot about incoming radar radiation. In game the RWR is a clock display that shows the type of threat (detected by radar or tracked by radar) and its direction.

If a radar is sending a single "ping" at you (a search radar is detecting you), the RWR will sound a short warning and show the direction it is coming from. RWR can show multiple pings at once from different directions and sources. If you hear a constant alarm and see a striped line coming from the ping towards the center of the RWR, a tracking radar has locked you and is constantly tracking your position (which usually precedes a missile launch).

Some helicopter RWR sets in-game have what's known as MAW (Missile Approach Warning), which indicates a missile launch that's heading directly to the user's vehicle. A few of these helicopters have the ability to automatically drop countermeasures when a MAW warning is active.

In [[Update "La Royale"]], soviet aircraft got a slightly different RWR with non-precise sectors which indicate the approximate location of the ping or lock.

[[File:Rwr2.jpg|thumb|RWR indicating a radar lock at 2 o'clock.]]

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 37 mm N-37 cannon, nose-mounted (40 rpg)
* 2 x 23 mm NS-23 cannons, nose-mounted (100 rpg = 200 total)

=== Suspended armament ===

{{main|FAB-250M-46 (250 kg)|FAB-500M-46 (500 kg)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

* Without load
* 1 x 250 kg FAB-250M-46 bomb (250 kg total)
* 2 x 250 kg FAB-250M-46 bombs (500 kg total)
* 1 x 500 kg FAB-500M-46 bomb (500 kg total)

== Usage in battles ==


'''Air RB'''

This plane has great firepower but always watch the ammo count so you won't run out of bullets. The plane has 90 mm of bulletproof glass in front of the pilot, so your pilot has a high chance of survival in head-ons. Once the plane gets up to speed, it becomes a great bomber hunter. Keep in mind that this plane has a slow acceleration. Use HE belt or air targets belt as it will shred enemy aircraft in pieces with just a few well-aimed shots. [[Boom & Run]] tactics are recommended against fighters, but make sure you have some speed before attacking.

'''Ground RB'''

The Su-9 is capable of destroying ground targets with its suspended armament. When dive bombing, don't pull of to late as the engines aren't that powerful. It is possible to destroy some light and medium tanks with the right ammunition belt. For destroying tanks, top-down approaches are heavily recommended.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Powerful offensive armament
* Airbrakes

'''Cons:'''

* Bad acceleration and bad climb rate
* Low ammunition count
* Very sluggish with suspended armament
